Cory needs to work on his spelling skills a bit, I’m just saying. Geez, if he can spell his own last name, he should at least be able to spell Republican.
You know what I say about electing ‘smart’ people to office. I don’t care if you are a prominent attorney or a doughnut maker, I at least want you to be able to make intelligent decisions and intelligent statements about those decisions.
Hey, we at least beat Georgia!
Rightly or wrongly, though, the numbers say otherwise, and there are a number of reasons why. For one thing, South Dakota is one of only nine states that lack ethics commissions. Such bodies, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures, “represent the public’s interest and have a similar purpose: to ensure that groups under their jurisdiction follow state ethics laws.â€
Chalk up another awesome rating for our state. We do have an open meetings commission, but according to our city attorney they are wrong. Go figure.

Pretty good day, quit my job this afternoon, went to the parade double-fisting it and finished the evening up with lamb chops and perogies at the Touch of Europe.
Okay, seems like basic common sense to protect women? Right?
U.S. Senate Democrats are counting on a fight over reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act to give their party’s female Senate candidates an edge in the November election.
The measure is part of a strategy to brand Republicans as anti-women and help Democrats retain control of the Senate in November. To bolster those efforts, Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat, wants to bring the Violence Against Women Act to the floor before the end of the month, said his spokesman, Adam Jentleson.
And it seems like Ironic Johnny Thune-Bag isn’t gonna let a little rape or violence get in the way of the Dems ‘dirty tricks’;
Republicans say Democrats’ attempt to turn female voters against them won’t work and is an effort to distract from the lack of a Democratic strategy for improving the economy.
“It has politics written all over it,†Senator John Thune of South Dakota, a member of the Republican leadership, said in a March 14 interview. “Most women, particularly independent women, want to see us talking about economic issues.â€
Yeah, cuz, gosh darn it, I don’t care if my husband or boyfriend beats the shit out of me daily, as long as he brings home the bacon. Because at the end of the day the economy is more important then safety, compassion or peace. Remember Thune didn’t think there should be rape protections for American contractor women working overseas. (scroll down past the first couple of stories).
